A tablet is not only for onsuming what other people have done. You can too. Also a kid can.

Daisy the dinosaur

There is not a clear goal, just fiddle around. For good and bad. It is like making movies in ScratchJr but only side scrolling and less effects.

The Foos

It is like Lightbot but side scrolling and with funnier characters. The goal is somewhat funnier compared to lightbot; getting a donut for a (US) police officer instead of just lighting a light bulb. To try it out there is an older? version on the web.
